I believe you're right because DB has choked so many times in the playoffs when they clearly had the better team.   But at the same time, a lot of the fans only care about the band and by playoff time they are getting ready to play in some big venue so the football team gets lost in the shuffle.            But for REAL football fans like all of us guys here on the "T", then you are 100% correct.            Last year DB made it to round 3 and gave Maryville all they wanted so I would count that as successful.          Most teams in NET get bounced in round 1.

Just to be sure, It wasn't DB that "choked so many times". It was that one so called coach that choked.

DB doesn't have the team this year to "not worry" about anybody on their schedule. I don't think anybody could say they have looked "good" in any game so far. Yeah they played Greeneville close for th

I think it is different in Kingsport than other places. Yes absolutely we must beat Science Hill, but unlike other schools if we beat them but lose every other game its not a good situation. In 2018 we beat them and went 4-6, our fanbase was ready to fire Joey before he could really get started. If Science Hill goes 4-6 and beats us, thats a great season. Just my 2 cents

 

As someone who lives in Johnson City and follows the SH program closely I wouldn't necessarily say this is true. 15-20 yrs ago, yes; but not anymore. Truth is over the last 5-10 yrs SH has beaten DB plenty. They got that monkey off their back when the McGue kid was QB. Since then, they've beaten the Indians just about every year. The DB game is still "the game" (although I'm not sure why because neither team has been all that good)  but they've beaten them enough lately that I don't think it's that big a deal anymore. I think it's a bigger deal to the people of Johnson City and Kingsport than it is to the players. Lately, I've seen a nastier rivalry develop between SH and Elizabethton. The SH/DB rivalry just doesn't seem to have the juice it used to.

This is a real shame because you have the 3rd and 4th biggest high schools in the state located about 15 miles apart.   Imagine the fans that would come out if this rivalry ever got serious again...

It could be. I think the fact the rivalry doesn't seem to have the appeal it used to, along with the game usually being played at the end of October when it's either freezing, raining or both, contributes to the low attendance. Topper fans don't come out in huge numbers for a lot of games but I will say the SH/Elizabethton game over at ETSU had a huge turnout this year. And the SH section was just as well represented as Elizabethton's.

Jeff Co is better this year, but are not a good football team. Problem for DB is they aren't very good either. Jeff has 3 wins (Cocke Co - 1 win over Heritage who is winless, WB - 1 win over the same Heritage team, and Mo East who is winless). The 2 losses were to Sevier Co and Halls. Have to think that the Halls game was a sandwich game for them between West and Powell. DB has played 1 tough game and got slapped around. I think DB will win, but it will be closer than most think.

It's true that DB has only played 1 good team but I think you will be surprised at how good they are for a rebuilding year.

1 really good team (Greeneville) and 2 pretty good teams ( WR & DC). I think you can point to one thing as to why DB is "ahead of schedule". Line play on both sides of the ball.  Coaching!

Outside of Greeneville  and Elizabethton, there aren't any decent teams north of Knoxville. Just a down year in the area.

It's a down year for sure but there are some decent teams up here. I'm talking about teams you have to show up and play 4 quarters against or you'll get beat. DB, SH, WR, & DC are all decent teams. Greeneville and Elizabethton are in a class to themselves up here. Like Maryville and Alcoa are in a class to themselves in the Knoxville area.

ive been saying this to the people around me and to myself. west really struggles on offense and powell is a complete enigma. outside of those 3 teams who is there?

Don't overlook Walker Valley or Rhea County. Two solid teams. If Powell doesn't make it to the semifinals this year, it'll be because they didn't get by one of those two.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
